Once Arit told Mark about what happened with the mailman, Mark eased her worries and told her to calm down and stop worrying about it. Mark told Arit that the man was probably just a journalist who was trying to get information about him to share with the public since he was now popular as a superhuman, and Arit accepted this explanation and calmed down since Mark told her not to worry anymore.
But Mark was not convinced by what he told Arit. He only told her that so that she would not worry too much, but Mark's mind was running at a thousand miles a minute as he tried to understand who had come to his door yesterday. There were too many people that knew about him now and Mark could not pinpoint any one person that would be trying to know more about him.
Mark could be right and it could just be one of the reporters that was trying to get more information about him, or Mark could be wrong and it could be something far more serious. If it was just a reporter, then why would they fill Arit's package with rocks? That was something unexplainable, and Mark couldn't figure out the reasoning behind it no matter how hard he thought.
Was it one of Salazar's people? Mak's eyes narrowed once that thought appeared and many possible scenarios passed through the front of his mind at once. But Mark shook his head and dismissed the thought when he realized that there were too many inconsistencies.
The mailman went to Mark's house before Mark went to meet Salazar, so why would Salazaar send someone to his house without knowing what Mark's response would be? And the mailman's actions did not make sense if it was Salazar who sent him. Why the hell would he give Arit a box of rocks?
Arit finally came out of the car with Talia, and Mark smiled at her as he took her hand. Arit was wearing a tight black skirt that stopped just above her knees along with a white off-shoulder t-shirt that did wonders for her breasts. There was an inscription on her shirt that read 'Daddy's Girl,' and Mark felt his core heating up as he read the inscription.
His mind went back to this morning when he first saw the shirt. When Mark entered Arit's room and saw Arit wearing the Daddy's Girl t-shirt, he grinned at Arit and cupped one of her breasts greedily. Arit blushed as Mark leaned down close and whispered in her ear in a deep, husky voice.
"Who's your daddy?"
Mark could feel the ripple that traveled across Arit's entire body as she shivered, but he was even more shocked when Arit put her hands around his neck. She looked him dead in the eye with a huge blush on her face and said.
This amount of unconscious sexiness should really be a crime.
"No, no, not an underground cave. But maybe some secluded house far away from civilization. I just don't see him as the sort of person who would enjoy living in the heart of a buzzing city like this. Didn't you say he enjoyed his privacy more than anything else?"
Mark laughed as he threw his car key towards the valet that came to take his car. The valet fumbled with the key and almost dropped it to the ground in shock as he realized who Mark was! The valet immediately thought about going up to Mark to ask for an autograph, but a glare from one of the security guards standing in front of the building made the valet cower away.
He forgot about the autograph and quickly moved to take the car away.
Mark continued talking to Arit without even noticing what happened with the Valet behind him.
"Well, you're not wrong about that. He is definitely the sort of person you wouldn't imagine living in the middle of a city. But he's been living here for the past two weeks while attending a cosmology seminar being hosted two blocks away.
It's part of his extra credit assignment so he decided to just rent this place out while doing that, and I also think he rented it so he could meet up with his sister while he is in the city. Do you like the building?"
Arit hummed as she looked up at the tall building once more. She would usually not say anything about liking the building, but since Mark asked her she thought about it seriously and gave him an answer.
"Yes, it's nice. It's close to the market and school, and there is a lot of security around."
Mark just grinned at her as they continued making their way inside. The inside of the building did not disappoint in the least. It was just as extravagant and exquisite as Mark expected it to be. The entire lobby was covered in velvet carpeting and there was a peaceful ambiance around the entire building as golden chandeliers lit the environment in a dim, soothing light.
